"My feeling about the present sit ! nation Is this: The only thing lack 1 lug Is confidence.

Mltor Daily Item: The question of greatest interest now before the legislature in extra session is the regulation of cotton acreage for another year and on un? til the European war ends. There is a division of opinion among our peo? ple which seems hard to harmonize and we hope, after free discussion ami thought expressed thai this great quest ion .ill be settled in the best manner possible for all concerned. The cotton planters an- revolving the .subject in their minds and trying to arrive at a conclusion Which is the best for the country, l think that we should have more expression of opin? ion through the press, which would assist in arriving at something defi? nite and then memoralise the legisla? ture, that that body would be better Informed as to what the people want. As lor total elimination, the writer feels it would be a little to radical. cutting the acreage to one-third of the cultivated land, or six acres to the regular work animal, seems to be the wisest thing to do. Should all of the cotton States cid out cotton in its entirety there would ,e ;',?'? million acres of land planted t rain and the amount raised on that amount of I land added to the crop thai is already grown in ibis country, would throw a truniendous crop on the market next season. Then we must remember that while thi' European nations are en? gaged in that awful struggle, they are also Wide awake to the raising all the foodstuff they possibly can. I see a report from the German agricultural department saving that country has enough foodstuff to last until next harvest. * If course we do not know the condition in Europe, as they real? ly are, hut we should be conservative and think well before we act. Should tie country eliminate cotton entirely, 1 can not see where we can dispose of such a large grain crop to any ad? vantage. The acreage of cotton should be cut by all means and should all the States reduce to one-third, cotton in the humble Opinion of the writer will he worth 8 or B cents next season. While that is a very low price for the staple, it would be better for the country to have some to dispose of at that figure than to have a great mass of grain and no market for it. A great many good men say to feed it to your live stock and sell the stock, which in my judgment is extraordi? nary go,,d advice to those who have the live stock or the money to secure them, but how about the fellow who lias neither and no other way to procure them. It seems to me that we should weigh ibis subject well, viewing it from ill sides ami phases and not be hasty in acting. The European wear clothes just like we do and they must have some cotton to get their clothes out of, as it is tin* cheapest fabric on the market of the world. That they are very, busy fighting just now is a fai t which we all know, but tin' men who are too old to go to vvur and the women and children are not trying to kill each other, but a large per cent, of ihctn are in the cot? ton mills now spinning and weaving ' material to clothe thsoe who are at I the front. Many of us thought when the war commenced it would last hut a short while, hut it looks now as if u ma> continue for some time and while it is hardly possible for those nations involved to raise foodstuff sufficient to prosecute the war. vet we may be sure they ore making ev? ery effort in their power to that end. I hone more >>\' the cotton planters j xx ill let the public hear from them as it seems to the .vrlter that this is no 'time to sit idly b> and trust to that d) lush e phantom of luck. .1. i'.
